Doomsday Sequence Convoy: I can upgrade supplies

Chapter 205 Hollowed out the Mechanical City!
"Not much, just a piece of intelligence, I certainly won't ask for too much." Chu Sheng looked at Wang Jianguo and gave him a shy and honest smile.

But no one believed that he was really as shy and honest as he appeared on the surface.

Although they had only known each other for two days, Wang Jianguo had already figured out some of Chu Sheng's personality traits. Putting aside everything else, at the very least, he wasn't so shy and naive.

It's better to believe that he, an ordinary person, can cleave the golden-armored corpse in two with a single strike than to believe him like that.

"Before we make the deal, I need to tell you about their situation."

"Huh?" Wang Jianguo was taken aback. "What's going on?"

Chu Sheng did not answer immediately, but pointed to Old Man Li beside him and said, "Old Man Li had traded with them before. He sold them a supernatural plant for twenty pieces of supernatural materials, but halfway through the transaction, they were attacked by a strange force."

"There are ten extraordinary materials that haven't been given to Old Man Li yet, but the extraordinary plant has already been given to them."

"If you want this information, you'll have to help them pay off the debt for these ten extraordinary materials."

As Chu Sheng spoke, he glanced at Wang Jianguo's somewhat dark face and continued, "After all, you were planning to take them in, so it's normal for you to come and repay the extraordinary materials they owe."

"I can assure you that the debt for these ten extraordinary materials is well worth it. After all, if you take them in, your Mechanical City will most likely not be troubled by food shortages."

At this point, seemingly afraid that Wang Jianguo wouldn't believe him, Chu Sheng smiled again and added, "You should have the ability to judge the truth of these words. You can see for yourselves in front of me."

He was not lying. Knowing from Captain Hui that the Mechanical City could judge the truthfulness of their words, Chu Sheng had not lied at all today.

Even in her conversations with Yang Jing, she didn't lie, but rather used different wording. No one could say it was fake, but it wasn't entirely true either.

Hearing Chu Sheng's words, Wang Jianguo rubbed his temples. "Let me think about it."

He did not make a decision immediately.

Seeing this, Chu Sheng knew that he was tempted, but he did not stop talking immediately. Instead, he continued, "This is just to pay off the debt. Let's hear the price of the information first and then think about it."

"Okay." Wang Jianguo nodded.

"They owe ten extraordinary materials, but their location and route could be counted as fifty extraordinary materials. That's not unreasonable, is it?"

"Huh?!" Wang Jianguo, who had originally wanted to hear the price Chu Sheng mentioned before thinking about it, was immediately stunned, and then shook his head to refuse, "If that's the case, then there's no need to trade this information."

"We don't have many extraordinary materials left. It's not worth it to use fifty pieces of extraordinary materials to buy information about a team that we don't even know if we can recruit."

"We can trade twenty extraordinary materials, plus the outstanding payment for ten more extraordinary materials."

Forty-five items.

"Twenty-five items."

"Forty pieces! This is the lowest price."

"No, no, thirty pieces, that's the highest price."

The two bargained quickly, and finally Chu Sheng looked at Wang Jianguo, sighed, suppressed his joy, but pretended to be unwilling on the surface, and said in a deep voice: "Let's compromise, thirty-five extraordinary materials."

"Including the ten extraordinary materials that are owed, there are a total of forty-five extraordinary materials."

Hearing this, Wang Jianguo pondered for a moment, looked at Chu Sheng's expression, gave a wry smile, and nodded, "Okay."

"Then it's a pleasure to cooperate." Chu Sheng extended a hand and shook hands with Wang Jianguo.

In reality, his bottom price was only twenty pieces of extraordinary materials.

The price of fifty extraordinary materials was an exorbitant demand. After all, it was just a piece of information, and even though it was important to the Mechanical City, it wasn't important enough to warrant such a huge price.

However, he didn't expect Wang Jianguo to offer his bottom line, so naturally he had to try to get more.

Having sold the information about the besieged building and made a deal with Wang Jianguo, Chu Sheng raised an eyebrow at Team Leader Hui.

Seeing this, Hui did not hesitate at all and immediately took out a simple self-made map.

Seeing this, Wang Jianguo also looked at Yang Jing, and then took out forty-five extraordinary materials.

One transaction per collaboration – that's the bare minimum.

Seeing this, Chu Sheng put away the extraordinary materials and then remained silent.

Wang Jianguo felt a pang of regret, but hearing the message from the wolf king in the secret room, he knew that Chu Sheng hadn't lied, which brought him some comfort.

If Chu Sheng wasn't lying, then buying this intelligence was worthwhile.

It can reduce the presence of the mechanical city, make the eerie ignore the mechanical city, and also give the mechanical city a shield.

It can be said that as long as those people are incorporated, the mechanical city will be able to better protect the survivors in the apocalypse.

With his knowledge of the Bagua sequence, Hui, who had also met and interacted with the people in the walled building, could easily deduce their latest location.

If you can't calculate the extraordinary sequences, can't you at least calculate the ordinary survivors?
After successfully completing the transaction, Chu Sheng stepped aside and left the rest of the transaction to Old Man Li and the others.

Xingzi waited with him to the side. Beside them were more than a thousand extraordinary materials, piled up into two small mountains.

The larger one belongs to Chu Sheng; there are a total of one thousand.

One thousand extraordinary materials were traded for two hundred sacrificial offerings, four pieces of endless energy, ninety-two extraordinary materials, and ninety-two people attempting to ignite the Eternal Flame. The intelligence from the besieged tower sold forty-five extraordinary materials, for a total of one thousand one hundred and thirty-seven extraordinary materials.

The Endless Energy is an extra extraordinary material provided by the City of Machines, but two hundred extraordinary materials must be deducted to fuse the sacrificial offerings. This is a requirement of the trade, and Chu Sheng naturally will not violate it.

There's also intelligence about the besieged building. Of the ten extraordinary materials owed, Old Man Li wants to take four, and each member of the convoy wants one, excluding their own. In other words, eleven out of the forty-five extraordinary materials have to be given away.

He didn't intend to delay paying Xingzi's extraordinary materials. A single extraordinary material wasn't worth his tricks; Xingzi's value was far greater, such as the three hundred extraordinary materials she possessed.
The ninety-two extraordinary materials that attempted to ignite the Eternal Flame belonged entirely to him.

Of the 1,137 extraordinary materials, 926 truly belonged to him.

This is a great harvest.

Meanwhile, Xingzi scratched her head as she looked at another pile of extraordinary materials.

Compared to Chu Sheng, her algorithm was much simpler.

Apart from the profits from the cold medicine, which she had to share with Old Man Li, all the other extraordinary materials were hers.

One hundred pieces of extraordinary materials were sold for the cold medicine, fifty of which went to Old Man Li.

She sold a total of 350 extraordinary materials. Even if she gave 50 to Old Man Li, she would still have 300 left.

"This is your share." Chu Sheng found a blood-stained white coat among his extraordinary materials, placed it in Xingzi's hands, and said, "Although you said you didn't want it before, how could I really not give it to you?"

"Take it."

Xingzi looked at the extraordinary materials Chu Sheng had placed in her hands, then at the small mountain of extraordinary materials that belonged to her. Her beautiful eyes curved into a smile, and her gaze towards Chu Sheng was full of satisfaction. "Brother, if you need any extraordinary materials, you can ask me for them."

"My need for extraordinary materials is very small."

Hearing her words, Chu Sheng was quite gratified. Sure enough, his decision was right; the value of the apricot was much higher than that of a supernatural material.

"With so many extraordinary materials, I can make a lot of things!" Xingzi rummaged through her small mountain of extraordinary materials.

Hearing her words, Chu Sheng was puzzled and asked curiously, "Most of this is bone, and some flesh and blood. There's very little material suitable for making medical supplies, isn't there?"

In his mind, medicines were all made from various herbs, animal parts, or chemically synthesized.

Upon hearing this, Xingzi shook her head. "Brother, it's already the end of the world. Making medicine might be difficult for others, but it's actually quite simple for me, a healer."

"Even if it's just dirt, I can turn it into a pill by rubbing it with my mental power, but it might not have much effect."

"So as long as it is an extraordinary material, I can make it into medicine or medical supplies."

Chu Sheng suddenly realized that extraordinary materials are indeed a kind of panacea in some respects.

Just as one can use extraordinary materials to make sacrificial offerings, Xingzi can naturally use extraordinary materials to make medicines.

While talking to Chu Sheng, Xingzi continued searching on the small mountain of extraordinary materials. She took out a piece of flesh and blood and spoke to Chu Sheng.

"Look at this piece of flesh and blood. Although I don't know what kind of flesh and blood it is, it contains qi and blood. I can make blood-nourishing pills or qi-nourishing pills. Combined with other things, I can also make the Ten-Ingredient Tonic Pill."

"For example, with this bone, I can make bone-strengthening pills. If I make them with flesh and blood, I can also make body-strengthening pills that strengthen both the body and bones. If I add some internal organs, I might be able to make medicines that strengthen the internal organs as well."

Xingzi searched through these extraordinary materials, and whenever she found something suitable for making medicine, she would tell Chusheng what the effects of the medicine would be.

Chu Sheng was greatly shocked.

He had always thought that Xingzi's medical sequence was just an ordinary sequence that could be used for treatment, but now that he heard about the medicines Xingzi mentioned, he realized that he had underestimated Xingzi.

Any one of the medicines that Xingzi mentioned could be considered powerful.

Many of the sacrifices were made with blood, and since the apocalypse has lasted so long, most people's bodies are actually weak. They need blood-replenishing, qi-replenishing, and even body-strengthening treatments.

These are all very important things.

Moreover, Chu Sheng had no doubt that these things would be effective against those with sequence abilities.

After all, this is a drug produced by the physician sequence.

As fellow users of sequence abilities, there's no reason why they can't.

While the two were talking, Wang Jianguo and Old Man Li and others had already completed their transaction.

Wang Jianguo looked distressed.

It's all gone, not a single drop left!

All the extraordinary materials that the Mechanical City had accumulated over the years were gone.
